In 1962 Elgin simplified the identification process by introducing the "Case Components Book". By using the 4 digit case back number, its possible to identify the hands, crown, gasket and crystal required for your model (this book of couse doesn't provide model names).

The Elgin National Watch Company, commonly known as Elgin Watch Company, was a major US watch maker from 1864 to 1968. The company sold watches under the names Elgin, Lord Elgin, and Lady Elgin. For nearly 100 years, the company's manufacturing complex in Elgin, Illinois, was the world's largest site dedicated to watchmaking. [1]

The Elgin National Watch Company was founded in 1864 in Elgin, Illinois as the National Watch Company. But right from the start folks referred to the new products as "watches from Elgin", or Elgin watches.

Elgin watches are identified by the name Elgin in one of a few different iterations on the face. These brandings include Lady Elgin and Lord Elgin on wristwatches. Most pocket watches are marked Elgin on the face, although a few are marked only on the case.

By 1910, Elgin joined the pioneers of the wristwatch movement in the USA. It made several self-wound movement wristwatches within ten years – the 607, 618, 760, and 761 calibers. During this time, Elgin National Watch Co. trained the U.S. Military on repair techniques for its artillery.
